Shadowhawk reviews IDW’s first full prose collection of short stories set within its G.I.Joe (licensed) franchise.
“Some of the best G.I.Joe fiction I’ve read to date, Tales From The Cobra Wars is a top-notch collection of short stories from some really talented writers.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the first novel in the bestselling Mistborn series.
“One of the most fascinating and deeply character-driven novels I’ve read to date, with a fantastically detailed magic system and a wonderful setting.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the second book in the Jessica McClain urban fantasy series.
“Not as strong as the first book, but still pretty darn good, Amanda Carlson does a great job of increasing the stakes and ramping up events to eleven. An absolutely thrilling ride with a werewolf flavour.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the first book in the Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi’s, one of India’s most recent literary successes.
“A daring retelling of one of Hinduism’s greatest mythologies, The Immortals of Meluha is a welcome entry on the world SFF scene, and in that context, firmly establishes the relevance of Indian fantasy fiction. If you are looking for an Indian-themed epic fantasy of a mythological bent, this is the book you need to be reading.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the third and fourth trade collections from the first run of Birds of Prey which was originally penned by Chuck Dixon.
Volume 3 collects issues #56-61 and Volume 4 collects issues #62-67.
“Excellent work all around, from the script to the art, these two collections offer a unique insight into the Birds of Prey that is matched only by Duane Swierczynski’s New 52 run. If I wasn’t already reading Gail Simone’s current Batgirl run, I’d say that these two trades are her best work ever. And the same goes for Ed Benes and his New 52 work on both Batgirl and Red Lanterns.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the first book of the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy.
“One of the classics of tie-in fantasy fiction, this book is still as enjoyable today as it was when I first read it more than a decade ago.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first comics round-up for May.
“After the excellent Rebirth, No Fear sadly fails fails to stir any interest. IDW,s G.I.Joe reboot goes full steam ahead with Chuck Dixon’s second G.I.Joe volume while Mike Costa and Christos Gage turn out an absolute cracker with the first volume of Cobra. And against all expectations, the Captain Marvel reboot disappoints spectacularly.” ~Shadowhawk
“Aquaman is consistent whilst Justice League falters, and Superior Spider-man has a really strong opening four issues.” ” ~Bane of Kings
Shadowhawk and The Founding Fields present the second book giveaway of the year, courtesy once again of the great folk at Angry Robot Books.
“If you are looking for a book that is part international espionage thriller, part alien invasion, and full on rocking fun, then this is the one you should be reading.” ~Shadowhawk
IDW finally provides details on how Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’ smash-shit series Locke & Key will be concluded later this year.
“Locke & Key coming to a close? Well I guess that means I need to catch up on the series then! This series is urban horror thriller done right.” ~Shadowhawk
Shadowhawk reviews the first book in the Legacy of Caliban trilogy, penned by Black Library’s resident Dark Angels expert.
“A worthy successor to the classic Dark Angels tale, Angels of Darkness, this book furthers the plots and events of that novel and presents a really intriguing look into the chapter from the perspectives of the specialist warriors of the Ravenwing.” ~The Founding Fields
